Your mailbox flag -- up or down -- and why?
by FatFreek 2005 inhere in the states most folks i know put the flag up to alert the carrier that there's mail to pick up.. interestingly, i watched a british film, early 1940's, where the carrier placed a letter in the box and raised the flag, that to alert the resident that he had mail.. the more i thought about that the more the british way makes sense (is that how it's done today in great britain?)..

Anyone from New Hampshire? Do JWs object to the license plate??
by Chaserious ini happened to come across this case today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wooley_v._maynard.
"george maynard and his wife, followers of the jehovah's witnesses faith, viewed the motto as repugnant to their moral, religious, and political beliefs, and for this reason they covered up the motto [live free or die] on the license plates of their jointly owned family automobiles.".
it appears this guy kept getting fined by the local cops for covering up the license plate motto!

A Mormon becomes a JW in the Feb 2013 Watchtower...
by cedars inglancing through the feb 2013 "public" watchtower edition, an interesting article appears on page 8.. here is the pdf download link.... http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=pdf&issue=20130201&output=html&pub=wp&langwritten=e&option=trgchlzrqvnyvrxf&txtcmslang=e.
it's interesting how, in the story, the young man's jw aunt and uncle switch him from mormonism to the jw faith using third-party material (the nov 8, 1995 awake!
article), and he ends up becoming a jw after confirming on the official mormon website that the claims in the awake!

Are We Living At The End Of An Age?
by metatron ini hardly know what else to call it.
i have felt many emotions in my life and anxiety, many times but this is different.. it's a sense of the impending, a build up of pressure like a wall of water behind a cracking dam.

My Questions Before Baptism Took Less Than 5 Minutes
by RubaDub inafter seeing the thread on books to read before baptism, i laugh about how my pre-baptism session went.. as a born-in with both father and grandfather serving as servants (prior to elder arrangement) i certainly knew the answers to the questions in the yellow "your word is a lamp to my foot" book that they asked at that time.
the brother who was asking the questions was the assistant congregation servant and not the sharpest knife in the drawer (i am being kind).
he was a very loving brother but was getting up in age, couldn't see very well and ... you get the picture.. we sat down in the library after the sunday meeting and he opens the book and starts to ask the questions.
